Suddenly, her heart is transfixed b y the deep and penetrating gaze of a man who speaks her name. But the sensual voice that sitrs Rosanne's sensees belongs not to the man whe is pledged to marry but to his nephew, Brant Layton.

When Rosanne begs him to help her escape, he cannot refuse. And as they flee inot a mountain wilderness fraught with danger and temptation, passions too long restrained explode in a fiery ecstasy that defies all peril...except the joyous hazard of total surrender to love.
